Not loving Trump's threats to send troops into areas that defy him. I wonder if that would be considered an illegal order. I wonder if the US will survive him as a political entity. Trump's election has definitely highlighted some serious socio-political divides.

Aside from being offensive and crazy, it also makes no sense. What "Feds" is he talking about? Elliot Ness?

Here's what's wrong with Obamacare: preventive care is free but you have to pay for diagnostic (at least on my insurance), so I'm thinking I won't go to the doctor about this vague lightheaded/swimmy feeling I've been having off and on for a while, because I don't want to pay for the bloodwork!

Asthma and COPD will be super easy to treat once the ACA is gone!
...wait.
Jesus. Every day the news gets more depressing and it's only been a few days?!?
I do wonder at what point we jump. Like, in an apocalypse I always figured I would not be one of the people who is smart and sees it coming and buys up the guns and grocery store just before money stops meaning anything. I don't even know what to do.

I know- I am wondering if I am crazy to think of at least building up a store of cash on my person/in my home.
